We are excited to be launching a new series of guided walks facilitated by our board member Lynden!
These walks are geared towards neurodivergent adults but anyone who would like to join is welcome.
The event will last approximately one hour. We’ll walk around a park, using a series of guiding prompts and our senses to connect with nature.
This walk will be done mostly in quiet (although vocal stimming is absolutely welcome!) with an optional share back time at the end. Meet new people, or don’t! You can show up in a way that feels comfortable to you.
Our first walk will take place at Esquimalt Gorge Park on July 11th at 10:30am.

About the facilitator:
Lynden (they/them) is an queer, trans Autistic advocate living on Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ territories. They bring 7+ years of facilitation experience and a warm, curious and trauma-informed approach.
They have a long-standing special interest in plants. They have worked in agriculture, food systems and as a nature-based educator. They are a life-long student of herbalism, botany, and decolonial land connection.
They are very excited to welcome participants to the first version of this walk! Based on their own experiences of healing from Autistic burnout through nature connection, their goal is to create a space for participants to connect with land through the seasons and without the pressures of neurotypical social demands.
